Inspiration for Health,Beauty & Well-Being 

Have you ever considered the role of inspiration in supporting your health, beauty,

Inspiring

and well-being?  

The concept of inspiration actually encompasses physical and emotional aspects.  In a physical sense, inspiration is the act of taking a breath.  Each breath brings in life-sustaining oxygen to nourish body systems.  While shallow breathing may contribute to states of fatigue or anxiety, taking even, measured breaths supports a sense of well-being and health.  The beautiful scenic image on the right illustrates the emotional aspects of inspiration which moves us in some way, engendering a sense of awe, courage, hope, and respect.  Take a few moments to envision yourself in that scene and notice what happens to your breath.  Does it expand and become more even?  In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Metal element--the Lung and Large Intestine Meridian and Organ systems are assigned to autumn and are directly related to the skin.  Balancing the Metal element supports healthy, radiant skin and is associated with beauty.  A balanced Metal element will support us in transitioning into winter, which is assigned to the Water element and relates to the Kidneys.  If you need help balancing body systems, call Maureena for a free consultation at 818.991.2600.  Non-needle acupuncture treatment available.  Maureena is an insurance provider for Aetna, UnitedHeathCare and PacifiCare.
